WHo do you have (and why)?
This year we didnt hav a qualified one: but next year we get apperently a really good one

Coblin.
I don't do physics if you actually read my signature.

Yeah, I'm dropping Commerce and taking up teaching. I fucking hate my commerce tutors, they give me shit assignment marks (70% and 60%). Thank god they are mainly based on the exam-mark, or else I'd quit Commerce ASAP.

detters for sure

Geoff Davies possibly.

Tutor Jack in springvale ftw

i am so unbelievably sick of people saying 'ftw'.

Same here... for once we agree on something :shock:
-
ah dear, i just got into saying ftw. ftw.
-
MELTAMWORTH! fancy seeing you here
someone tell me, what IS FTW?!

Tutor Jack in springvale ftw
hahaha everyone i know goes to 'jack the tutor' :P
you probably know all the plc girls then
-
FTW stands for for the win lol
Duh... L2 1337speak n00b :wink: :D
-

rustic metal ftmfl
-
lol. hu else?
-
Heh, I hate FTW too.
I just imagine that everyone saying FTW means WTF backwards and then I laugh at them inside my head :twisted:

iots almost meant Fuck the world, befoer... but not so much now imo
lol.
Graham Mckinnon was pro physics teacher. but semi-retired now :(

Heh, I heard about him. Did he ever teach at private schools or anything?
-
i have no idea... but he didnt teach physics this year :( hes just workin as our assistant principle part time... which shits me because he tought last year and my year missed out :( :( :(
-
any1 got a bad physics teacher?
-

There are a lot of bad physics teachers out there. I've had 2.
-
why were they so bad?
-
Why is any teacher bad?
Doesnt know their subject matter, isnt passionate enuogh, doesnt put in any extra effort in making suretheir students understand, omit things from course... im sure you could find a lot of ways to mess up an education.
example 1 : Solenoids are a result of when a leprechaun snorts pixie dust.

[Raises hand for a good teacher]
Anthony Novak, teaches at TSFX and mazenod.
Awesome guy and LOL demonstrations/roleplay.
Memorable moments include Janette and Sven (two imaginary atheletes back in unit 3: Sven fell through the Earth to China because his normal reaction wasn't high enough - but Beijing 08's there :lol: ), "I-will-drop-brick-on-hand. hand-will-hurt" and by extension, "man-on-wall-equals-wall-on-man"
Structures and Materials ended up with a few guys' jokes about members and yeh... A great two years with him.
I think I'm ranting... :oops:
-
lol... Roger Centofanti ... i dont know where he wroks now, but he taught me unit 1 and 2 physics.
Lol, when we were learning about capacitors... he brought one of those balls things in ... and electrocuted himself fro the sake of education ... like... badly lol :P .. like standing on a plastic chair holding it until he was really really negatively charged, and then puttnig his foot out towards the metal table.
it was brilliant.
Thats devotion for ya!

Charles Coleiro! Good at everything in the asian four!

Thanks Collin. Do you know who are the best teachers for Chem, Spec and English (I just want to know who to put on my preferences as teachers for these subject)
Thanks Again

Chemistry: Jacinta or Byron, IMO (they are very different styles, if you prefer the funny relaxed woman, choose Jacinta. If you prefer the hard-line authoritarian British, goto Byron. They both have interesting things to say, but if you cannot stand a TSFX class without breaks, don't goto Byron -- he won't have breaks in his classes.)
Specialist: Try to get Charles Coleiro (spelling? ask enwiabe, he teaches at his school!) Otherwise, try get Chris Ireson (if he still teaches). No one else there really stands out, I think.
For English, I don't know?

Tutor Jack in springvale ftw
Lol all my friends go to Jack for Chemistry tutoring :) . Is he really that good?

Lol, my yr11 teacher got me 2 electrocute myself XD
It was 1 of those static ball thingys that makes all ur hair stand on end. I have long hair and I wore it out that day, so him and the student teacher thort that'd b a bit of fun, lol...

no one beats jack.

I second Jacinta Fox with a passion!
-
Someone revealed my love-life to Jacinta Fox, and she thought it was cute that people still wrote those sort of HS-ish sort of messages on whiteboards/slides during the breaks :-[
-
Collin, you do realise Charles doesn't even remember you? :P
-
Collin, you do realise Charles doesn't even remember you? :P
Charles was semester 1, and everyone was much louder than me in his class. Jacinta's class was different, because I knew everyone in that class.

I'm lucky to say I was in her actual day-school class, and dare I say it, this year I think I was reputedly the best in her class ;)
In our school we also have the contrast between the two chem teachers. One's more disciplinarian, yr11 co-ordinator after all, while fox is more fun. LOL - she fears the other chem teacher as well as that teacher's sister, who happens to be an ace methods/spesh teacher and uni maths helper.

you are correct.

Who is the best physics teacher at TSFX?
Geoff Davies.
coblin...how could u possible reckon he's the best? he teaches at my school, and he has absolutely no class control, he doesn't cover the correct material (and not to mention, is very slow at covering said material), and, whilst being a friendly guy, doesn't seem to have much passion for the subjects (especially when he teaches chem and bio). he must put on a decent facade at TSFX...
-
He only teaches Physics at TSFX.
-
He only teaches Physics at TSFX.
No, he teaches here at MGS! and he's deputy head of physics...(i mean...his email address that was in another thread was @mgs.vic.edu.au!)...Even on the TSFX brochures they say "Senior Physics Teacher - Melbourne Grammar School".
-
No, I meant: at TSFX, he only teaches Physics, sorry!
I haven't had him for other subjects.
-
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood you (confusing placement of "only"). The only reason he also has to take bio and chem (thankfully only year 10 and 1/2) at our school is coz of the school's policy of getting teachers to take a variety in subjects. He says he basically isn't even qualified to take them, so I really don't get the logic of the policy.
-
Ah, yeah. Bad school policy, not bad teacher :)
-
hehe, we have a VCAA Physics reviewer (or something along those lines, cant remember what exactly he said) teaching at our school, dunno if thats a good thing or not?
yeah, just coincidentally, he taught me IT 1/2 :D
-
best physics teacher must be the only physics teacher in our whole school. She's such a gun. You need first hand experience to understand ":p
-
Best:
Dr. Boydell

Richard Feynman

Dr. Boydell
He's the checkpoints guy :o
(The front covers of books are very fascinating and I can look at them for hours :))

my dad

Neil Cockburn, was far and away the best teacher at my school, and has been teaching yr 12 physics for around 30 years.
-
iots almost meant Fuck the world, befoer... but not so much now imo
LOL i used to think that ftw meant that, until someone told me what it really meant (and commented that it was extrememly fob)
Best teacher (on the basis that he knows his stuff) - Mr. Denver, but he's retired now
